Interactions of ruthenium coordination cubes with DNA

Dalton Trans. 2009 Dec 28:(48):10717-9. doi: 10.1039/b913642h. Epub 2009 Aug 10.

Abstract

The interactions of four octacationic ruthenium coordination cubes with duplex and quadruplex (telomeric and c-myc) DNA have been studied by FID and SPR, showing these cubes to bind strongly to tetrastranded DNA structures.
